On August 12th, the movie The Aristocrats is being released. This film has been considered highly contraversial and many theaters have even pulled it from their listings. There is no plot really. It's just a list of well known (and not so well known) comics telling a joke that has been in the Stand Up Comedy world for years. The basic version of the joke goes something like this;

This guy walks into a talent agent???s office and says, ???I???ve got a great act. It???s a family act. My wife and little son and daughter are in it. We walk on stage and (censored), then we (censored), and then I (censored, censored) while she (really censored), and for the finale, we all (really, really censored).???

The talent agent says, ???That???s horrible. It???s disgusting. I???ve never heard anything like it. What do you call yourselves????

After a perfect comic beat, the guy proclaims, ???The Aristocrats!???

The movie has been dubbed either highly entertaining or highly defensive. And with an NC-17 rating, you bet there's gonna be something to talk about.
